Description:
Boston: B.B. Inc.; [Ben-Burk Distillers], 1934. Small folded pamphlet (11 x 6.5 cm.), 16 pages when folded. Printed in red, black and blue. FIRST EDITION. One of the very rare precursors to the famous Old Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide (1935). Following Repeal, Ben-Burk Distillers published the Guide, which was to become one of the iconic cocktail recipe books. Originally published as a promotional item for the Ben-Burk line of spirits distilled in Boston, the Guide became a staple of professional and home bars around the country. But prior to the first work titled Old Mr. Boston Guide, Ben-Burk published One Hundred Cocktails, Some Old -- Some New (1932) and One Hundred and Twenty Cocktails, Fizzes, Punches, Highballs, Toddies and Long Drinks (1934), both of which are very rare. We can add this small work - previously unrecorded - to this short list of precursors. A bit of soiling to edges, and one corner dog-eared; otherwise very good. All early printings of the Mr. Boston Guide are scarce.… Read More

1853 Alcohol 1ed Manufacture of Liquor Wine Cordials Beer Mixology Bitters Syrup

"The Manufacture of Liquors, Wines, and Cordials, Without the Aid of Distillation" by Pierre Lacour is a fascinating guide on producing a wide array of beverages using neutral base alcohols. This book offers in-depth methods on crafting various drinks. The author emphasizes the importance of disseminating knowledge about the production processes, hinting at the potential health risks of consuming adulterated liquors. The book describes the materials and techniques used, offering recipes employed by prominent European manufacturers. Topics covered range from the concealment of grain oil odor in domestic liquors to the quick production of vinegar. Additionally, the book explores the ingredients used in flavoring and touches upon the manufacture of carbonated beverages, syrups, and bitters.

This scarcely printed, fascinating work is significantly rare with less than 100 recorded copies in existence worldwide!

Description:
1774 Poncelet Chemistry of Taste Smell ALCOHOL Liquor Beer Wine Chymie Perfume

Polycarpe Poncelet's "Chymie du Gout et de l'odorat", or 'Chemistry of Taste and Smell', is a rare 18th-century dissertation on the effects of liquor and other confections on health and well-being. Poncelet notes the effects of consumption of excessive alcoholic beverages, as well as the health benefits of wine and beer, sugar, coffee, lemon, teas, and anise seeds. Humorously, Poncelet develops a theory of the harmonies of alcohol proportions compared to music.

Notes: Interest here is in the detailed vignettes which show Mom on fire, Junior getting his foot amputated, murder, shipwrecks and more. Then there are the elaborate borders which include snakes, skulls, skeletons and burning cups of fire. Introduction says this is intended for children. Definitely not at bedtime.
